During the game, the Fox cameras made sure to catch Dez Bryant on the sidelines throughout. But he never gave them anything close to last week’s show even though he had a tougher game.

Troy Aikman gave Bryant much love early. “He’s dealing with a back condition that really gives him problems throughout the week. He takes a beating much more than any receiver I can think of in football.”

And in the second half: Bryant “is not a selfish player. To categorize him with some of the other wide receivers we’ve seen over the years is unfair.”

And then when Bryant got his unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for removing his helmet in the wake of his offensive pass interference call, Aikman pointed out it that the loss of 15 yards pushed them out of field goal range but he went no further.

Aikman did take Bryant to task for dropping a ball later just as he had pointed out some poor throws by Tony Romo. “It’s hard to complain about not getting the ball, not making those plays, when it comes your way.”
